Who are the best pairing locks in the world cup currently and why?

Question

Coz i believe S.A has always been dominant in that department.

Answer 1

For all you lot that have the kiwi locks down as the best, I'd suggest you get yourselves a reality check!!! The AB lineout is nowhere near the best in the world, in fact that's the one area they really struggle in.

Matfield / Botha for Springboks, or Sharpe / Vickerman for the Wallabies are the two best combinations in world rugby at the moment IMO

Answer 2

Chris Jack and who ever they put with him

This boy is fantastic

The AB's will deal to the Boks

ps Chris is a rellie, I am 6' 4'' he is 6' 7''

Answer 3

Victor Matfeild the best lock since John Eales and Paul O Connell when on form for Ireland.

Answer 4

Without a doubt it is Matfield and Botha.  I prefer the insane skills of Williams and Jack who have better ball handling than a lot of backs at the tournament.  Jack and Williams easily do their share of the grunt work and no one can dispute that, but a second row's main jobs are in the lineout, scrum and the grisly work in the rucks/mauls and the Bok pair are beyond belief in those area's.

Answer 5

On current form who can say anything bad about the All Blacks locks of Chris Jack and Ali Williams, overall i would have said O'Connell and O'Callaghan of Ireland for the fact that they are both workhorses paired together for the last few years, with Munster, Ireland and the lions....but on current form O'Connell is not playing to a standard that we all know him for and O'callaghan is not been seen enough

Answer 6

Victor Matfield and Bakkies Botha.  Although if Botha cut the dirty play out of his game, he would be much better.  Matfield's the best since John Eales.

Answer 7

Victor Matfield An Bakkies Botha of South Africa
